  • Breakfast with Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho. So curious about this book - I'll stick the blurb in our stories - but it's cropped up a few times, you know when a book keeps presenting itself to you all, read me! read me!, and I'm fascinated to see how it'll be to read. This edition is one someone's used for an exam, so it's packed with page markers and pencil notes, which is one of my absolute favourite things with books! I'll report back, and meanwhile, if you've read it, how did you find it?! ~P . #bookishbreakfast #bibliophile #classicfiction #bookstagram #bookish #annradcliffe #themysteriesofudolpho #greenjuice #booksinthewild #amreading #bookmorning

  • Today's #socksunday accompanied by a gorgeous tale of home, and other planets, Retrograde Orbit, by @kbaczynski, an incredible artist and storyteller of whom Crow and I are big fans. I just reread this in one go and, still, cried at the end, not exactly because it's sad, but because it's...I don't know, real. And great. . Published by the marvellous @averyhillpublishing - I got this as part of a bundle, which included this fine signed print, and I mention this now because if you hop over to them you can get their autumn release bundle which has a wide variety of similarly exciting-looking comics and prints and merch, do investigate them if you're not familiar! . More of a #sundayshoutout this week really, but y'know, the reason we set up a book subscription box is because we really love curated bookish post ourselves, and bundles like this do for us in a new sense what we hope to do for you in a vintage sense, and, also, if you love cool post you should absolutely check out Kristyna's shop (kriski.etsy.com) because she has a ton of awesome zines, and her post brings great delight :D . Have a small publisher or artist you love and think we'd enjoy? Do tell us, because collecting these things and supporting such awesome work is one of our favourite things! Merry Sunday, all! 🌠✨📚~P . #graphicnovel #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookishlove #spacefiction #sciencefiction #scifiart #booknerdigans #patcloves #booksandcandy #smallpublishing #independentpublishing #averyhillpublishing #kristynabaczynski #retrogradeorbit

  • The lesser-spotted Crow, I couldn't resist this picture of her reading a beautiful first English edition (1966, originally bought in Foyles, as per its little sticker inside) of Moominpappa at Sea, accompanied by her gorgeous Moomin (her birthday gift from the marvellously-talented @bundgaardf - truly, such character and skill!). A fine way to spend a little post-lunch Saturday afternoon, whilst I shout at Arsenal and finish up some of my #tbrpile. Do also scroll for Tove Jansson's map and illustrated first page. . Since we had a rainy day yesterday, I've become absolutely consumed by how ready I am for it to be autumn again! I just want to wear a jumper and cosy up in some blankets XD Never mind, never mind, hopefully it'll be with us soon enough. I hope wherever you are, whatever you're up to this Saturday, you're not too far from some fine storytelling! And just as Crow is reading me out the good bits from her book, why not share the good bits from yours with the rest of us, here or elsewhere on #bookstagram - it's such a fine way to find, or remember, the good books :D There's a quote on the envelope of this month's #patcbox from one of my forever favourites (no spoilers here!) that's so great, I've decided I'll need to read a whole series again... Cheers! ~P . #moominpappaatsea #moominpappa #muumipappa #moomins #vintagebooks #bokstagram #kirjagram #amreading #patclibrary #handmadecrafts #knittedtoys #bookish #foyles #bibliophile
